Right then! we have the results. read them and weep, or rock!
just bear in mind that fes didnt manage to submit scores, due to circumstances that were out of his control.
#1 Kama !
congrats mate, a well deserved victory, and someone who im certain that will put the sample pack in good use. get in touch to sort out your prize.
EDIT: goldbaby has very kindly offered to match the prize, with an extra sample pack for the winner. not only their recording skills are hot, but these guys are very sorted too. you should all go buy their products. or at least email them some nice nude pictures..

please let me know if i missed anyone's soundcloud or other method of plugging.
and of course, our non dnb entrants, where a massive battle took place. Seriously guys, im not bullshiting to seem nice, it was almost impossible to pick a single winner.
But unfortunately it had to be done, so the non dnb winner is:
jimjimjim! Nice one!
Ive already got in touch with jim about the prize, and once everything is confirmed, i will be letting everyone know too.
Here’s all non dnb entries:
BDS – Chalice
http://soundcloud.com/mass-2/tracks
very special tune, it would have been an excellent track and a complete arrangement if it had a hip hop vocal over it, but as it is it couldn’t compete with the others. I may have a vocalist just right for this, will get in touch mate!
Alexi – Melt
http://soundcloud.com/alexi
Brilliant track. well composed, evokes very positive and warm feelings, whilst packing enough power to move a dancefloor. But it didn’t got full marks as it lacked any elaborate sonic manipulation, and creation of new sounds from the given samples. Still, probably my personal fav, and one that ive listened the most.
Dj Marlok - Toxic Chemicals
http://www.myspace.com/djscdubstep
A very close second to the winner. Excellent work here, with menacing midrange, deep subs, and breakneck snares. Varied arrangement, but faithful to its groove, and a very Chuck Norris mood all around. Such a brilliant tune and a fresh sound compared to all crappy wobbly dubstep that’s around right now. If this was a dubstep orientated comp, you’d have definitely won. But “toxic” just stood better as a non dnb track.
JimJimJim – Toxic
This is a great example of creative manipulation without unnecessary bells and whistles. A simple bassline, simple layering of one shots and old breakbeats, and very elaborate work on the dialogue chopping, and the pitch mangling of the drums. I played this tune to many people that aren’t familiar with dance tracks, and they all thought it was a great song. Excellent work jim.
just want to give a massive shout to the judges for submitting such detailed scores and comments, it’s really appreciated. and also respect to everyone who got involved in one way or another, be that entrant, poster, donator, or just watcher, cheers!
I will finalise the next competition this week, and hopefully release it on Monday. And if everyone warms up to it as much as they did with this one, im sure it will go even better.
Peash!
